I think the most was the last one where they taught us how to register for classes as well as check the availabilities for the classes as well. I didn’t know anything because I’m a freshman and I’m always lost when it comes to technical things. The women who came in helped us tremendously by actually going through the sites with us and showing us exactly where to go. When the day of registration came, I couldn’t say I knew exactly what to do, but if it weren’t for that workshop, then I’d be completely lost. I successfully registered for all my required classes and was able to navigate the site.

In my last three months of Baruch, have pretty much be summed up into that gif. My first month was really fun, meeting new people and getting used to going to college. Then I decided to join a sorority. Little did I know, it was going to be one of the worse decisions I ever made. haha, just kidding. I’m finally done now, but this gif completely describes how I felt during the last two months in Baruch. I was stressed, overwhelmed and just wanted to cry every day. I messed up in all my classes, didn’t sleep at night and couldn’t even eat a proper meal. If I did, I was really lucky, or it was 1AM. My professors all talked to me about my grades and they were worried. I felt like crap for the past two months and never thought it’d end. I crossed this past Saturday, December 1st and it was honestly the best day of my life. Everything I’ve done for them, was finally paid off. I have amazing people to call my sisters now and never felt more accomplished. I guess it’ll make my next 3 years in Baruch worth it. Everyone probably thought I was the crappiest and meanest person ever, but trust me, it was just because I felt like nothing in the world was good. But now that it’s over, I have never been happier. I can finally see my best friends who I haven’t seen, stand outside of the vertical campus and eat a real meal for once. Best feeling in the world. The gif is kind of depressing though.

What’s the definition of stress? Feeling like you have no time, having things pile one after another or when you feel like you’re at the tip of the edge and you want to give up. I’ve experienced it all. You think juggling school and work and homework is hard, but once you been in my shoes for the past 7 weeks, it doesn’t compare. I’m a strong type of person who doesn’t usually give up. I’ve been through hell and back since the end of September and it’s not over yet. I give up my sleep, my food and friends to get things done. I’ve been mentally and emotionally screwed with and still have to manage to show up at school every day. It’s hard, but everyone keeps talking about the light at the end of the tunnel. Most of the time, that light is so dim that I hardly even see it. My motivation is gone and there’s nothing worth fighting for. But I have learned how to REALLY manage a million things at once and even learn more about myself. I know everything I’m going through has a reason behind it and I’m gonna push through till the end to find out what that is.

Music is something that my life revolves around. If I’m bored on the train, or maybe even when I’m not in the mood, music is kind of like my escape. There’s always a song out there that could describe what I’m feeling without me having to say anything.

1 – Turn it Down by Kaskade: I’m a huge house music fan and this song can always make me feel a little better. It’s jumpy and really catchy at the same time. I heard this song at a pool hall and had to download it.

2 – In My Mind by Axwell: Another one of my house music favorites that I heard at a concert just this past summer. It was an amazing experience and every time I listen to it, it brings me back to that day.

3 – What Should Have Been – PYE: A Korean song that I heard at a restaurant one time become one of my favorites. It was really catchy and even though I don’t know what the song is saying, I bob my head to it on the way to school.

4 – HYFR – Drake: A rap song by Drake that I just like. There’s no particular reason, but in some weird way, it’s calming. I first heard this song when one of my friends were making fun of it.

5 – Let Me Love You – Neyo: It was 10AM one morning and my sister woke me up because she wanted to know what the name of this song was. It’s a relatively new song and is really upbeat.

6 – Bad Boy – Big Bang: Another Korean song, but ever since my friend introduced me to it at the beginning of summer, it became my favorite song, my ringtone and I would sing it to my handball team before practice every day.

7 – Superman – Joe Brooks: I don’t remember where I heard this song, but it’s a song I have to listen to in the morning. It puts me in a happy mood and makes me want to dance. Kind of weird, but he sings similar to Jack Johnson, another happy singer.

8 – If I Ain’t Got You – Alicia Keys: The oldest song on my current playlist but it never gets old. I still remember when this music video was still playing on MTV back in the day. Now every time I go to karaoke, I have to sing this.

9 – Levels (in reverse) – Avicii: Just another house music song. The original song is obviously not in reverse, but this version sounds better to me. This is one of the few songs that I started listening to when I first got interested in house music.

10 – Don’t You Worry Child – Swedish House Mafia: A recent song that came out from a group of DJ’s that are breaking up after their last tour. I’m going to see them live in March and this is their number one song.
